Job market update coming up this Friday.
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 2:48PM
Job Market update: The numbers today were slightly better than expected due to the government hired census employees and the employees hired with the change in weather, allowing for more outside workers. These factor caused the unemployment numbers to come in slightly higher than projected.
There still continue in some areas to be layoffs.
Still over all we feel the labor market is gently trying to come back. We are predicting a low recovery for the next 12- 18 months minimum. We can still expect to see the 10% unemployment through the end of the year.
Job Tip of the day: Have someone new look at your resume today and re-evaluate how it reads. Maybe it is time to try a slightly modified version.
Challenge/Action Item: 1) Re-send your recently updated resume to your favorite companies on your hot list. 2) Visit Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value store and research seasonal lawn and and garden products. Get the company web site or address from the back of the product. Contact those companies to see if they are hiring.
Mental Health tip of the day: Go outside and enjoy the nice weather and sun for 20 minutes. Then get back to working on your job search.
That's a wrap for the day.
Good luck with your job search progress today!
